Abstract (en)

A transistor is provided which includes an electrical contact (122) formed in a V-shaped groove (118). Because of the unique shape of the electrical contact, a smaller surface area is required for its formation thus rendering it possible to construct a transistor having a smaller surface area. The groove is formed by anisotropically etching an expitaxial layer (102) on a semi-conductor substrate (100) using, for example KOH.
